Ellen is a bilingual Scientology Volunteer Minister who just arrived in Haiti late last night with the second of our charter planes that brought 168 medical professionals, logistics and tech professionals and Scientology Volunteer Ministers to Haiti.

She told us that she wants to document her trip and work in Haiti on a blog, straight from Haiti! In view of the regular telecommunications breakdowns that are still occuring in Haiti we are well aware of the challenges she will encounter to keep us all updated.

Medical supplies, nutrition and hygiene products are unloaded to go on the plane.

The Church of Scientology has organized a second charter flight to Haiti to take doctors, medical supplies and Volunteer Ministers to the stricken country.The 168-seat aircraft departs from Landmark Aviation Airport in Los Angeles Thursday morning, January 21, stops at Miami International Airport to pick up additional medical personal and Volunteer Minister teams, and continues to Port-au-Prince.

Crowd gathering outside US Embassy. Crowds at the port, embassy, UN and airport are getting bigger and more rowdy each day as people become more desperate about the basic necessities. We are working tomorrow assisting getting 70 trucks of supplies moved into the city.

A short update from photographer Brad:

07:00 am:

Early wake up call at PAP airport by a 6.1 quake 35 miles away. Dead sleep to dead run in less than a second! What better way to get adrenaline flowing in a.m. than a 6.1.

"I want to go to Haiti with the Scientology Volunteer Ministers to help my people." - Jude Falaise

Los Angeles (CSI Press Release) - When a flight chartered by the Church of Scientology leaves Los Angeles for Port-au-Prince on January 21, Haitian Jude Falaise and her 16-year-old son will be on board. Falaise lost 11 family members-brothers, sisters and cousins-in the 7.0 earthquake January 12 and says she wants to help those who did survive.

This was an orphanage. One of the worst tragedies of the already tragic event.

Photographer Brad is with the Scientology Volunteer Ministers on the ground taking a survey of the inner-city region of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, that was hit the hardest by the 7.0 earth quake exactly one week ago.
